From the wiki:

  • It costs at least 200 Administrative power.png administrative power[2] to move the capital, with the cost increasing with both the difference in development between the provinces and the total development in the country.
  • The capital can be moved to any province on which the country has a core and is inside a state, though the province itself need only have a territorial core.
  • The capital can only be moved from a non-colonial region to a colonial region if the current capital is the last state province on that continent, while also isolated from the other territorial cores on that continent.
  • Moving the capital from a colonial region to a non-colonial region will immediately create colonial nations.
  • The new capital must have at least the same amount of development of the current capital or the cost will be higher than the minimum.
  • A Holy Roman Empire member cannot move its capital to a non-imperial province, nor can a non-member move its capital to an imperial province
The 3rd requirement is the harshest, you might give everything you have around your capital to a client state after its unlocked.

Is it possible to move the capital to the Falklands or South Georgia first, and then to Salish from there?

Actually - the way that 3rd requirement is phrased, is it possible to have a single province in Africa or Europe, move your capital there, and then hop to Salish?

I'm asking because I'm looking to do the Sleepless in Seattle achievement sometime, too, and I'm still deliberating what achievement(s) to combine it with. ;)

The typical way to move your capital to a colonial region is to get a single province on a continent that's not in a colonial region, then get another province that is in a colonial region. Move your capital to the single non-colonial province, then move it again into the colonial region.

E.g. You can colonize Bermuda, move your capital there, then move your capital to mainland South America. You could also reverse this by colonizing the Falklands, moving your capital there, then moving your capital to mainland North America. New Guinea is also a good candidate for the layover capital because it's in the "Oceania" continent that there's little reason to bother with early on.
